Right, so I've been working on fixing this for like 5 hours now, and I am completely stumped atm. I bought an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk motherboard, and Ryzen 7 5700x to upgrade my system. I installed everything and had everything plugged in, turn on the system, fans spin, and no post. The EZLed thing shows up that there's a CPU issue. Figuring it was because the bios is out of date, I flashed the most recent (and later, the second most recent) bios, and nothing changed. Same CPU LED showing up. I tried flashing it at least 6 more times, and nothing. I tried reseating the CPU, RAM, GPU, every cord, replaced the modular cables for the CPU power, tried booting with just the CPU, and nothing. Specs: Ryzen 7 5700x RX 6800XT MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk AM4 32GB 3000mhz memory 850W EVGA 80+ Gold I don't have access to a 3000 or older Ryzen CPU to try either. Edited June 26, 2022 by Paggos uhhh

I reached out to my buddy for assistance and attempted to connect just one of the two 4-pin connectors for the CPU. It worked fine... thanks bud.
